Getting in touch with Mother M. Catherine

I first heard about Mother Catherine when my RS teacher told me that a girl in our parish had entered with the Tyburn nuns during a lesson on Vocations in Year 11. I thought I had heard the name before so I checked my emails, only to find the prayer requests replies from Mother M. Edmund Campion—one of the Tyburn Nuns. It wasn’t until Summer 2011 when I stayed in a flat on my own for a couple weeks due to flooding in my village family home that I decided I would take the opportunity to go to Daily Mass at the local Catholic Church. That is where I spoke to the Sacristan who introduced me to Malcolm (the altar server/Mother Catherine’s father). They asked me about my family and why I was there alone and I told them about my situation and that I had wanted to be Catholic since I was three. Vocation was the next topic and then Malcolm mentioned his daughter (Mother Catherine) and that’s when I wrote to her in Largs—after a conversation about the Tyburn nuns with Malcolm. I called her a couple times too, and talked of  my College (where she went too). Blessings!
